A read-onlyfile can be opened and read but no changes can be saved over theoriginal file. This comes in really handy for documents,spreadsheets, and other sensitive files that you don't want messedwith.
Files on a CDare read only since you can't modify them while they are on the CD.If you want to change them you must transfer to your computer thenuncheck "Read Only" in Properties. When you transfer a file from CDin Windows 98/ME it stays read only, so again, you need to "un-readonly" it. (Win XP is smart enough to undo this whentransferring).
To undo readonly, right-click the file and select Properties (orAlt+double click) from the resulting menu.
Next, uncheckthe "Read Only" checkbox on the lower part of the Propertiesscreen. Hit OK and you're all sethow do i find all read only files in computer - cdr2.gifimg data-src="/uploads/images/cdr2.gif" alt="cdr2.gif" class="h_mi" />Note that ifyou have a bunch of files sitting together that are all read-only,you can "un-read only" them en masse. Hit CTRL-Ato select all or hold down Alt and select onlycertain files, then right-click any file and follow the stepsabove.
You can alsouse this process to make files you want protected "read only" sothat no one accidentally modifies them.I hope it will help you.
